Reliable Brisbane Rubbish Removal Services You Can Count On
When you need a waste removal service, you want a team that does it all. Of course, there are many other ways to approach household junk removal.
For example, you could choose a skip bin. But then you have to worry about where it will sit, whether neighbours will fill it up with their own junk, and organising delivery and pickup. This supposedly ‘easy’ option isn’t quite as simple as people think.

In Addition, you could hire a trailer, truck or ute and do it all yourself. Again, the costs add up here. You pay hire and rental fees, potentially a deposit for vehicle hire, as well as tip fees.
And if you damage the hired vehicle at all, you’re looking at a very costly exercise. Plus, think of all the time you’ll waste doing it yourself.
That’s why we offer a comprehensive service tailored to your individual needs. Our one-off fee covers everything, including rubbish collection, sorting and disposal.
You don’t even need to lift a finger. When you factor in all the costs of doing rubbish removal yourself, it just doesn’t add up. Our affordable service isn’t just good for your wallet, but also for your body.

About absolute rubbish removals
Absolute Rubbish Removals was founded in 1997 by owner Warren Cowan and wife Liz. What began with a passion for using recycled goods in a range of artistic and landscaping endeavours, Absolute Rubbish Removal has become so much more.

When you’re moving house, we understand that you’ve got a lot on your plate. Finding a new house, packing, de-cluttering, cleaning and household rubbish removal. The list of things to do often seems endless, and it can be an extremely stressful time. But moving house doesn’t need to be stressful, because Absolute Rubbish Removals can take care of one of your biggest tasks.
Getting rubbish to the tip is costly, and it can be impossible for people without transport or access to utes and trucks. So, once you’ve identified all of the household junk you need removed, just let us know, and we’ll take it away. With all your rubbish gone, packing and cleaning becomes much easier.
If you already own a truck, ute or trailer, you may find rubbish removal easy to do yourself. But even then, you have costly waste disposal fees to deal with, as well as the time you spend loading and disposing of waste. Most people need to hire a truck, trailer or skip bin, all of which may seem convenient and cost-effective in their own way.
The reality is that skip bins are costly because you need to take into account delivery, pickup, disposal and more. There are also plenty of costs associated with hiring trucks or trailers. Plus, consider how much valuable time you waste by doing everything yourself. Our service removes the hassle and is even more cost-effective than other methods.
We load all of your waste, sorting as we go to keep disposal fees down. It’s a one-off fee, and all of your household junk is gone. There are no hire fees, deposits, insurance premiums or tip fees to worry about.
Whether you do your spring cleaning in spring or any other part of the year, a good household cleanup is always refreshing. It’s a chance to get rid of everything you no longer need or want, tidy up your outdoor spaces and get rid of junk that’s gathering dust in storage. De-cluttering your home improves comfort and liveability, giving you more space to relax.
The problem with spring cleaning is you often end up with a large amount of waste to get rid of. You’ve already done the hard work of spring cleaning your home, so do you really want the extra hassle of getting all that junk to the tip? Absolute Rubbish Removals can come and collect all of your household waste, from green waste to electronics, and we’ll take everything away in one go.
Plus, when you know you’ve got a professional team booked in for household rubbish removal, you can be more ruthless with your cleaning and get rid of absolutely everything you no longer need.
Hoarding is a lot more common than you might think. We’ve all seen television shows where hoarders have junk piled from floor to ceiling, but it doesn’t need to be that extreme to be considered hoarding. If you or someone you live with hates throwing anything away, you may need our hoarder rubbish removal services.
People often think they might use an item one day or just like collecting things. Whatever the reasons for hoarding, it creates an unhealthy environment and also presents a major risk for pests. Still, you don’t need to worry because Absolute Rubbish Removals can take care of all hoarded rubbish safely and securely.
Best of all, you don’t need to move any junk around before calling us. Just let us know what needs to go, and we’ll take it away without hassle.
When a family member or someone close to you passes, it’s always a sad and difficult time. It’s also a stressful time, because there is often a lot to organise. One of the biggest jobs is cleaning out a deceased person’s home. Not only is this physically a big undertaking, but it can also be an extremely emotional task for family members.
We assist with deceased estate rubbish removal, whether it’s to clear a house for sale or for another family member to move in. Importantly, our services are completely tailored to your needs during this difficult time. We can completely remove everything, only take the rubbish, or anywhere in between. You let us know what you need, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Not all household junk removal is about getting rid of little knick-knacks and light rubbish. Often, people need to dispose of much larger items, such as furniture and white goods. These items can be considerably difficult to move, so you should always consult a professional waste removal service in Brisbane.
Lifting large items such as fridges, freezers, couches, chairs, tables, bookcases and other bulky items can cause injuries, especially if you’re not trained in correct lifting techniques. Our team has the training, experience and equipment to make moving bulky items much easier. So, don’t put your health at risk by trying to dispose of large household items yourself. Let us do the heavy lifting for you.
If you’re doing some building and construction around the home, such as renovating or extending, you’ll likely end up with a lot of rubbish to get rid of. Skip bins are an option, but they get in the way and aren’t as cost-effective as many people think. Plus, most building and renovation waste should be removed quickly. You should also consider the possibility of asbestos in some of your building waste.
Rather than take the risk, call Absolute Rubbish Removals. We’re trained in the correct handling and disposal of asbestos, plus we can get rid of all other building waste quickly and efficiently. It’s easier than you think, and we even offer same-day rubbish removal if you need waste gone fast.
